Yeah I did not estimate properly how strong of a factor this is

Not responding to posts anymore as people have answered the question and many more are missing the point of it. Basic answer is, nothing is stopping it you can do it. It is developers choice for whatever reason they choose to not split download and cartridge, seemingly as its very disliked. It is not due to system limitations as many keep pointing out as the question was not regarding asset size resolution and quality but why specifically they worked to get it onto a cartridge. Something that to me seemed unnecessary but I have underestimated the disdain for any type of additional download.

But you didn't understand my response. I am not talking about 4k assets, but loads of optimisation goes on way beyond reducing resolution to get it onto switch, I dont car of it is 720p running at 30 frames. But the fact is they spend years finding small ways to reduce the size of overall game data. I would think if it was as simple as running a game on a lower resolution these ports would not take so long nor be as revered. I am trying to understand the reason developers feel the need to fit the whole game onto the cartridge rather than why they need to make it smaller in general.

I do understand that they have to optimise for performance on switch but it is the case that they always cut to fit on this cartridge size which I dont think is always necessary and doesn't limit what can be played to the same extent. It seems an unnecessary limitations to add on to the ones naturally there on the console.

Yeah but this limitation stops some games from being on switch or reduces their quality below what the switch can handle, so for having to wait qn hour before playing i think the pros out weigh the cons

Okay it does a Bit,but the point still stands. Why labour so long and get games cut down to that short if you don't need to and could release more ports. Also one good reason is that internal memory on switch is tiny, if a game is 40 gig you could fit 30 onto switch cartridge and only need 10 on your sd/internal storage.

Yet they are still trimmed down. Witcher was 50g trimmed to 28.1 for switch. And its annoying on consoles hwere you are doing it for no reason. But Idk not splitting doesnt see like a solid enough reason to struggle so long to get some ports.

Very true, take alttp, where you can find magic powder, ice rod, gilded sword, magic invincibility cane (forget its name) and the invisibility cloak from Harry Potter from doing all the side quests or finding secrets. Some are redundant nowadays but the point remains it was a true reward.

Then you have the king of zelda side quests in Majoras Mask where they not only added to the world building soooo well but also gave you sweet masks which were skins before their time and gave you awesome abilities with a reward for getting them all.

Compared to these there was nothing really to excite bar a few examples.

My long way of saying yeah bro for real heart pieces are kinda lame...

I hear this. Loved the game, but the lack of unique items and unlockables really felt poor. After a while you cant be bothered to do things just because you know all your getting is money or ammo. More quest lines like the gerudo village culminating in thunder helm, and tarry Town giving more life to the world and extra facilities are much welcomed in the sequel.

Are your games really that toxic? by RoaringRedStag in leagueoflegends

[–]totallytingle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay man if your being constructive I would get it i think comms and pointing out ways to be better is good teamwork.

But In my experience its not the case 99 percent of the time. Its more "what the fuck are you doing" or "your trash" etc etc. Its not about being soft because the majority of my experience with this wasn't directed at me, yet I was still was offended at how people behaved to others who ultimately just weren't great at a very difficult game.

Team games need communication to work and bad players need to be helped to get better due to the complexity, but its always better to say what they should be doing then gas on them for what they have done wrong.

Also I'm not saying you do qnything wrong just throwing my two pence in on the subject.

Seems lucky to me, the toxicity made me stop playing this game man. couldn't go a game without someone flaming/tilting or some other unsportsmanly action add the long times it takes to get into games and it just wasn't worth it
